Thank gawd for a rest day. Last night after dinner there was not a single question like, "How may points is Vauquelin, and he's a leader, not a climber right? Is there anyone else on Arkea that they...

Garmin watch is my recommendation, almost all models have fitness tracking, HR, sleep, recovery time, track your menstrual cycle etc. Anything you should need and more. I'm a total Garmin ecosystem,...

^ See, I'm not the only one with $400 saddles in their spares pile.

The saddles Visma are using on their time trail bikes in the Tour de France are $1320. The Prologo Predator.

This is a Tool Talk question. But I'll answer here. I prefer the Rennsteig screw extractors. This style has a fluted design that is far superior to the cheap spiral easy outs from Home Depot...

Every saddle brand has one over $350, shit I have 2 in my parts bins.
Anyone want to buy a Fizik R3 adapative or a Fabric ALM?
Specialized wants $475 for their S-Works Power w Mirror.

FOX Float X Live Valve NEO! oh you want to keep it under $500, never mind.

Good find. Opens are pretty high end quality. The spec is good with decent parts, nothing jumps out as red flags. The gearing is a little short if you live in a really hilly area/mountains. A 34t or...

The spread sheets are hot and heavy in the Hubbs household. The Mrs is listening to every and all prerace previews trying to find a diamond in the rough.

I'm building it heavier with a Fox 36. I actually have a Float shock that I took off my buddies 2024 Element when I upgraded him to a Float X. So it's a bit of a money save to use this Float takeoff...

I just ordered a Rocky Element frame.
I can’t wait to get all downcountry!

My 4iiii power meter on my gravel bike has Apple Find My built into it. My road bike has an Air Tag under the bottle cage with security Torx bolts holding it on. They are pretty discrete, but add...

jm2e has a point. My buddy had his eMTB stolen and found out that his policy did not cover it. He had some upgrades on the eBike and was able to work the adjuster to claim his "bike parts" stolen....

GRX 1x12 Di2 just dropped today. Same as XTR 10-51 or 10-45 with specific derailleur to match and a specific 12 speed HG+ single chainrings. Shimano is coming out of the woodwork with everything at...

Lucky you! If I bought a bike like that it would be the perfect excuse to buy myself the $600 VAR Disc Facing Tool.

The TGR league is still there, and active. You automatically get registered into the previous leagues you joined.

It lifts and encapsulates the grease.
And prepares the chain surface for wax adhesion.
They basically reversed engined what was needed for wax to stick all the way back to what lifts the grease...

Silca Chain stripper is worth every cent you spend on it. No nasty chemicals, no smells. Shake in a jar, filter used solutions through a coffee filter. Clean chain ready to wax.

Mrs Dee Hubbs just asked this morning: "do we have to do the TdF fantasy this year?" "Isnt your TGR site broken anyways"

grabtind: The XTR rear derailleur works with all the 12s Di2 wireless road/gravel shifter. DuraAce, Ultegra, 105, GRX.
Mullet away!

jm2e:
2x4 chunk and a hammer on a greased cup will get you the results you want. If you want to get really fancy a 2x4 and a DeWalt trigger clamp will get you a square pressing motion. One side at...

The super muddy World Cup XCO yesterday proved the new XTR is reliable ready. In the women's race many many riders had mechanicals, and were pouring water bottles on their drivetrain every lap. I...

Question: does the 92xx still use the same preload system for cranks as 91xx (vs traditional shimano style on 8100 and down)?
It uses the traditional 2 pinch bolts, pin plate and preload with the...

OR a 46 tooth arrow chainring on a DuraAce crank.

Sounds like the old double olive. A replacment lever unit almost always comes with the olive already inside the lever body. Sounds like you put a pre-compressed olive/barb on a hose on top of another...

I got a Garmin Varia (515, not the camera version) at the start of the season. This is a GAME CHANGER for road riding. Best $150 Ive ever spent on cycling gear. I wish I bough one of these years...

As long as you buy a quality hitch extender. Look for one with a rated tongue weight of at least 400lbs.

I have so many 31.6 droppers, and need 30.9s.

Do we need to start a hot road bike thread?
-Skinny tire thread (well are 32s skinny?)
-Curley bar bikes (no thats gravel bike too)
What should we call it? Ill start by posing my newly built up...

Sorry, my post was not clear. Your derailleur is fine with your shifter. I was trying to say is that you wot find or that they dont make any 34t capable derailleurs with your shifters specific pull...

Problem is your shifters have a specific 10 speed road pull ratio. You can only use a derailleur that matches that pull ratio. No 10 speed road derailleurs will cover a 34t cassette. Dont be fooled ...

Speaking of Dyno hubs, anybody need a Shimano 32 hole, centerlock, 9x100mm.
Cheap, shipping plus beer money.

This is a job where you will need to call all the shops to see who has the tools.
The tools needed are expensive, and are usually in old school shops that faced and chased bottom brackets and head...

Good and reliable. They don’t need to be calibrated/zero set very often. You can set it and forget it
Battery life can seem short, but it’s an easy AAA swap out. Just use a good Li-ion battery.
...

I’ll update the title to Ridgeway RAT trails. I was told they were in a state park.

No beta needed. All the trails are labeled and signed. Every major intersection has a map, every minor...

Any trail beta, took a last minute long weekend drive.
Staying in Ouray and looking to do some day rides with Mrs Dee Hubbs.

Is this site alive again? If so I'm gonna list all my parts on here.

Ive been off line for over 6 weeks on a winter work project and fawk this site has gone to the shit. Im suprised that Im able to log in and refresh without an error. I finally got my shit togther to...

The Abbey tool is worth the $$. the Park DAG-2 has some tolerance issues, but the newer DAG-3 is suppose to be way better, but I have no experience using that new tool. The old measurement standard...

UPDATE on my free Expobar Brewtus IV.I replaced the vibration pump and got water flowing into the system.Also purchased a back flow disc to rinse the system, but I could not get any flow out though...

I love that Gates has a prize purse for the first DH World Cup win using their belt drive:

The Gates Carbon Drive 100K Belted Purse is a €100,000 prize for the first elite mountain biker to win a...

I would try to manipulate the liner by packing it down before cutting it.
Heat and then compression the area to break down some width. C- Clamps, wood clamp, vise, hammer and hard surface. You'll...

Doebedoe, you can get the goods with $3000.

Giant Revolt Advanced
Specialized Diverge.

One more Tandem story, then I'll leave this thread alone.
One afternoon in the bike shop I see a customer I know walk in. Right away I head toward the front of the store to greet him.
This...

We use to rent a Tandem at our shop in Whistler, we called it the Divorcycle.
It was an Electra Cruiser with beach bars and coaster brakes. It was eventually destroyed by a mid 30's tourist couple...

I have some toes. 18's I believe. Do you need the AFD pads, or would you be okay with just the metal toes?

IMO not as capable. That Yeti was considered an XC bike before the term Down Country came into existence. 120/100mm is light duty bike, with a steep 67.8 headtube angle on the Yeti vs a slacker 65 on...
